Liu Chongguang invited famous scholars from nearby areas to come, as those from further away could not come. The long distance was one reason, and the war was another.
Liu Chongguang returned to Yunyang Prefecture with more than ten great scholars and learned men. At this time, his second brother's wife Bai Yun had been appointed as the head of Chaoyang Prefecture by Ling Xue.
Liu Chongguang:
So all his hard work is not as good as these show-offs who hang around the young master?
Of course, he didn't dare say this out loud. He didn't dare to offend the women in his family. Let alone Bai Yun, he couldn't even afford to offend his own daughter Liu Caixia.
Why does he feel that the world is becoming more and more difficult?
Liu Xiangcheng glanced at his elder brother and said, "You are just idle!"
Liu Chongguang slapped Liu Xiangcheng in the face and said, "If I can't mess with them, can I mess with you?"
Liu Xiangcheng looked at Bai Yun aggrievedly: "Madam, my elder brother bullied me!"
Bai Yun patted Liu Xiangcheng's hand soothingly and consoled him, "Brother just came back and is tired. Don't provoke him all the time. He'll be fine once he gets some rest."
Liu Xiangcheng didn't care whether what Bai Yun said was right or not. As long as his wife comforted him, nothing else mattered.
Liu Chongguang:
For the sake of his second brother's wife, he didn't bother with his second brother.
Liu Caixia watched with great interest from the side. It would be more lively when there were more people in the house!
"Dad, will there be any changes in your position when you come back this time?" Liu Caixia was still concerned about her father's future. It was rare for her father to have a second spring in his career, and she certainly didn't want her father to give up halfway.
Liu Chongguang shook his head and said, "It seems that the young master will not send me away. I will probably stay with the young master forever. She has a lot of things to do here and needs a lot of help."
Liu Caixia glared: "Then both father and daughter will stay with the young master? That's not a good idea, right?"
Liu Chongguang was also helpless: "Our young lady, she doesn't care about these unspoken rules at all. As long as she uses someone who suits her, she won't consider too many external factors. This is also good!"
Liu Caixia was also a little stunned, not knowing whether to say it to her father or herself: "Yes! It's very good!"
Liu Chongguang thought for a moment and laughed again: "The next step is to take the examination to select officials. Once this is settled, our prefectures will be on the right track."
Bai Yun looked at the way the father and daughter were discussing business and knew that her eldest niece had made a lot of progress. She nodded with satisfaction. Her eldest niece was lucky enough to meet the young master and had a bright future!
In order to welcome these great scholars and learned people, Ling Xue specially held a banquet to treat them to a big meal. It was okay for other people, but the great scholars from several nearby prefectures were loyal to Ling Xue.
It was not for any other reason, but because Ling Xue took in and treated the people of these prefectures. Ling Xue almost never refused anyone who came to her. As long as they were not extremely evil or spies, Ling Xue would keep them.
These great scholars are all people who care about the country and the people. They see that other forces are fighting for power and profit, but only Ling Xue is saving the people. Naturally, their hearts are with Ling Xue.
Ling Xue completely handed the task of setting the examination questions to these people. She then made one point: "Focus on practicality. Those eight-part essays and poems and songs will not be tested. They won't be used for the time being."
The great scholars immediately understood what Ling Xue meant. This young Master Shen was actually a doer, which was quite good. He was much better than those pretentious show-offs.
